Earlier this year 100
students aged 13-18 from
schools in Hackney and
Tower Hamlets participated
in a photography project
Its aims were to record their
observations on the impact of
the 2012 Olympics and its related
developments, which will irrevocably
change the areas where they live.
Six 6th form Art students were given
the opportunity to take part in the
London Legacy 2020 photography
project competition - a project
created to give young people in East
London an opportunity to celebrate
and document their neighbourhood
through newly developed, high-level,
vocational skills.
Through workshops, developed
and delivered by a professional
photographer and lmmaker,
students were able to use
photography to comment visually
on the social and economic changes
aecting their neighbourhoods.
One of the core aims is to provide
a lasting legacy for East London,
developing creative talent, to the
highest standard, for local young
people, providing them with
long-term skills for media-related
employment or for other jobs where
their skills can be transferred.
The students listed here were
shortlisted out of the 100 candidates
to attend the awards ceremony on the
Tuesday 8th November 2011. The
event was held at one the leading
City Law rms, CMS Cameron
McKenna.
